bruh wot

Shawnte:

um............take a look at tht ss

smurfofficial:

wait wrong picture

smurfofficial:

is that correct?

smurfofficial:

it should be words and numbers and a dropbox

snowflake0531:

you didn't choose anything, how do i know what you chose is correct smh

minustempo:

grows fastest means slope is the greatest

snowflake0531:

y=mx+b the bigger the m, the larger the rate of change

snowflake0531:

and 'x' is 1x

smurfofficial:

snowie slow down

snowflake0531:

i said 2 sentences

smurfofficial:

where Y?

snowflake0531:

._. fine mx+b

smurfofficial:

there no MX+B..

smurfofficial:

your looking at the wrong thing

snowflake0531:

_x+ __

snowflake0531:

Something times x... plus another thing

snowflake0531:

The thing that's multiplied by x, is m

AZ:

Think of a(x), b(x), c(x) and d(x) as your y y = mx + b x is going to remain 'x' but 'm' and 'b' are going to be numbers in your equation

snowflake0531:

So compare those coefficients

smurfofficial:

I was expselled when we was learning bout coefficients.

smurfofficial:

so I didnt learnt that.

AZ:

\( y = \color{red}{m}{x} + b\) m is the slope or rate of change and they want you to rank them by which one has the smallest number to which one has the largest number \( a(x) = \color{red}{5}x + 3\) \( b(x) = \color{red}{3}x + 5\) \( c(x) = \color{red}{1}x + 4\) \( d(x) = \color{red}{4}x + 1\)

AZ:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @smurfofficial I was expselled when we was learning bout coefficients. \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) coefficient is just the number that is in front of that letter so when you have 3x x is the letter or also known as `variable` and the number in front of it, the 3 in this example, would be the coefficient

smurfofficial:

so x=varable

smurfofficial:

3 in front is the C word

AZ:

yes so now look at all those numbers I colored in red and rank them in order from smallest to greatest

smurfofficial:

give me time 2 work it out cuzzo

smurfofficial:

a=5x+3/x

smurfofficial:

x=3/a-5

AZ:

you don't need to solve for anything

smurfofficial:

what

AZ:

compare the numbers and rank them which one has the smallest number in front of the x? which one has the second smallest number? ... which one has the largest number?

smurfofficial:

k

smurfofficial:

check out my work

we're comparing the numbers in red \( \color{cyan}{y} = \color{red}{m}{x} + b\) m is the slope or rate of change and they want you to rank them by which one has the smallest number to which one has the largest number \( \color{cyan}{a(x)} = \color{red}{5}x + 3\) \(\color{cyan}{b(x)} = \color{red}{3}x + 5\) \(\color{cyan}{c(x)} = \color{red}{1}x + 4\) \( \color{cyan}{d(x)}= \color{red}{4}x + 1\)

AZ:

that's wrong remember d(x) = 1 + 4x 4 is the number in front of the 'x'

my computer tripping

AZ:

You're tripping

smurfofficial:

smh

smurfofficial:

is that correct?

AZ:

Look at the numbers a is 5 b is 3 c is 1 d is 4 which one has the smallest number?

smurfofficial:

is this a another trick question?

smurfofficial:

can @snowflake0531 help me with that?

AZ:

no tricks do you see the numbers in front of the 'x'

1 attachment
smurfofficial:

yeah

smurfofficial:

you got me stressing low key

AZ:

which one has the smallest number?? remember that the one with just `x` is the same as `1x`

smurfofficial:

1

smurfofficial:

I think

AZ:

Exactly 1 is the smallest number and so that means c(x) has to be labelled as '1' because it has the smallest slope what's the next smallest number?

smurfofficial:

7?

smurfofficial:

no 8

AZ:

look at the underlined numbers? Do you see a 7 or a 8??

smurfofficial:

3?

AZ:

yes that's the next one so that equation is going to be #2 now what's the next bigger number

smurfofficial:

4

AZ:

good, so that equation is going to be #3 and the last one is goiing to be the one you label as #4

smurfofficial:

TY SIR

AZ:

no problem
